CRAIG PEARSE - WILSON EDWARD TOY SOLDIERS

It is with the deepest regret that I have to sadly announce the passing away of Craig Pearse, the founder, inspiration, heart and soul of Wilson Edward Toy Soldiers. Craig died yesterday suddenly. Craig was a very close personal friend. He was one of life's true gentlemen and a passionate maker and collector of toy soldiers. I and everyone who knew him will miss him greatly. His memory though will live on in the hundreds and hundreds of beautiful toy soldiers that he has made available for his ever growing legion of collectors around the world. Vale Craig, the world has lost a fine man.

    A tragic loss of a great man. His knowledge and passion for toy soldiers was second to none. His contribution to the hobby will always be remembered.

    Tragic and most distressing. It was an honour to be aquainted with such a fine person.
